Kristina Coop-a-Loop At this pointI didn't care if Drew and Hannah live happily ever after or if he fitted her for a bridle and horseshoes.
Ha ha ha...giggle...snort. Neigh! This sounds like a terribly stupid yet hilarious book--books so stupid they're funny make me giggle uncontrollably (see my review of 50 Shades of Grey). If you want to read a book about New Zealand, may I humbly suggest Maori by Alan Dean Foster? He normally writes sci-fi/fantasy type stuff, but this is more of a blend of fact (early New Zealand history) and fiction. I read it many moons ago and loved it.

Elvan Thanks Kristina. I will look it up. Hopefully no one will be held in place using teeth in Maori! :)

It's been a while since I've read the book but I don't think horsey-style sex is included. It's more about the founding of New Zealand and the clash between the European man and the natives (Maori).

Correct, and by no means a true reflection of modern day NZ. Says this kiwi gal ;)
